We are delighted to be able to announce the results of the Wikivorce Awards 2010.

Thank you to all the members who voted in our poll.

The voting was very close in many of the categories and we have decided to declare joint winners in several cases:

Best Professional Advisor - joint winners:

Winner:	Charles_prev.fleagal			Winner:	Tbagpuss
		Charles is a huge asset to the community and provides seemingly limitless amounts of advice on divorce and working with solicitors, with a particular depth of knowledge in legal costs.				TBagpuss contributes excellent family law advice on the forums on an almost daily basis, we are extremely lucky to have her as part of our community.

Best Advice in Forum (non-professionals) - joint winners:

Winner:	Dukey			Winner:	Little Mr Mike
		Dukey is ever present on our advice forums and is the perfect example of someone who has stayed on to pass on his new found knowledge after his own case completed.				Mike has made an extraordinary contribution to the Wikivorce forum. He offered support and advice to thousands of our members over the last 3 years.

Best Advice in Forum (Scotland) - joint winners:

Winner:	Fiona			Winner:	Rubytuesday
		Fiona is the most prolific poster on the forum in Wikivorce history and this award is very well deserved. Although this award is for her Scotland contributions she has  provided excellent advice to hundreds if not thousands of our English members too.				Ruby has provided exceptional support to our Scottish members both in her volunteer role as Head of Wikivorce Scotland and as a caring, considerate member of our community.

Most Supportive in Forum - joint winners:

Winner:	Mitchum			Winner:	NellNoRegrets
		You can always rely on Mitchum to offer empathy and support to those members who are struggling to cope with their current situation. She has helped hundreds of Wikivorce members by sharing her experiences and her journey through both her forum posts and her blog.				NellNoRegrets has been an outstanding contributor on the Wikivorce forum with over 4000 posts in a little over 2 years. She is always supportive and understanding. Her advice and support is very much appreciated by the hundreds of people she has helped.

Most Uplifting member:

Winner:	Kimmi
		Kimmi fully deserved to be voted the most uplifting member. In the 18 months she has been a member she has been a constant source of hope and positivity through her forums posts and blogs.

Most Supportive in Chat - joint winners:

Winner:	Shezi			Winner:	Kittysparkles
		As well as her role as editor of Wikizine, Shezi can often be found offering support and a friendly ear to new members in the Wikivorce chat rooms, and this award is very well deserved.				Its no suprise that so many of you voted for Kittysparkles, she makes the chat room a warm and welcoming place which is hugely appreciated by fellow Wikichatters.

Most Welcoming in Chat - joint winners:

Winner:	Tets			Winner:	realdad
		As many of you know, Tets works hard on technical support behind the scenes to keep Wikivorce up and running. He is also ever present in the chat room and based on the votes cast our members clearly value the support he offers so willingly.				The joint winner of this award is Realdad who many of you recognised for his enthusiasm and the warm welcome he offers those venturing into the chat rooms for the first time. He has also worked hard to organise the upcoming Wikievent in November.

Funniest Wiki:

Winner:	hawaythelads
		In most of the award categories the voting was very close - hence the joint winners. But the title of funniest Wiki member went to Hawaythelads by a landslide. Thanks for keeping us smiling Haway :)

Best Blogger - joint winners:

Winner:	supercali			Winner:	mumtoboys
		Supercali is perhaps the most prolific blogger we have had on Wikivorce, her regular blog entries are clearly a great source of help for others in the same situation. In a little over 7 months her blog entries have been read almost 20,000 times.				Mumtoboys is a deserved winner of this award. Her open and frank blog charting her journey through divorce is a source of inspiration for our members and is a great help to those who feel alone in this situation.

On behalf of all the members of Wikivorce I would like to thank all of the award winners for the tremendous contribution that they have made to the thousands of members going through this difficult process.

As a very small token of our appreciation we would like to present a £25 Amazon gift certificate to each award winner.

		HI All, just wanted to say you all touch me close to my heart - you are all special. As for my blogs, I just talk too much LOL, maybe becuase I am out-posted out of the country of origin, but you all certainly make me feel very close to you all and I wish you all the very best in your journeys. I hope one day when I am more organised to be able to meet some of you wonderful people. Supercali xxxxx
